THE MINUTES
BY TRACY LETTS
Nominated for the 2022 Tony Award® for Best Play and a Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Drama
What would you do to keep from being the villain in the history books? In the Big Cherry town council meeting, full of backstabbing, personal agendas, and pet peeves, The Minutes explores small town politics and the real-world effects of trying to rewrite history.This scathing comedy about real-world power, from the author of August: Osage County, exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held American narratives while asking each of us what we would do to keep from becoming history’s losers.
